Just saw PS I Love You play at the Lexington in front of an audience of around 50 people, tops. But what a lucky 50 we were. Audacious axework, incredible songs and a very fine line in sweatbands. Between us, a friend and I made off with two 12”s, one 7” and a t-shirt. We were even compelled to ask frontman Paul Saulnier to sign our plastic at the merch stall. Thrillingly he obliged, though it should be noted his indelible, scant ‘P/S’ does look like someone’s scrawled ‘PIS’ on the label.

What a band. Of course ‘Facelove’ appeared on last week’s New Noise, I only hope I get to enjoy witnessing one of the tracks from this week’s podcast performed live at some stage in the next few weeks.
